I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I saw Mumford & Sons at Niagara-on-the-Lake. And what a concert it was!<\/p>\n

Leading up to the event, we thought it was going to be pouring rain. So like any good concert-goer knowing the weather, we made sure to prepare ourselves with ponchos and rainboots. However, when we showed up to The Commons at Butler’s Barracks National Historic Site it was HOT. So hot that we forgo bringing our rainboots (good call). I wish I had only prepared for the heat by applying sunscreen (I burn prettttay easily).<\/p>\n

Parking was free which was good, and sure enough there was loads of it. Heads up though, remember WHERE you park on the field – or at least have a good sense – because it fills up, and becomes difficult to find your car at midnight.<\/p>\n

The Concert:
\n<\/strong>The concert was amazing! Because it took place on a field, they had plenty of food and drink vendors you could go to. Of course prices were high – this is only expected – but there was a great selection of food options. Yes please to Smoke’s poutine.
\nI didn’t know the opening acts initially, but they were decent. First up was Son Little. A musician based out of LA, he had some catchy tunes.<\/p>\n

O Canada. Niagra-On-the-Lake you’re excellent. There’s a few people I be house tonight. Feeling good after my first time playing cricket. Cheers to all the Gentleman of the Road. @themaccabees @mumfordandsons Another one bites the dust<\/a><\/p>\n
